Bauxite from this deposit has been used for chemical purposes for over twenty years. It is understood that other occurrences had been noted prior to Mr Clarke's report. Eleven additional discoveries were made from time to time up to April, 1942, when the extensive prospecting programme mentioned in the foreword was undertaken. In the short time that has elapsed since then a further twelve deposits have .been discovered, making a total of 24 deposits in the adjoining parishes of Moe, Allambee East, Narracan South, Mirboo and Budgeree in the county of Buln Buln. Several of these deposits have been systematically tested by shaft sinking and boring. The deposits at Boolarra, Oallignee and Nahoo have been reported on very briefly by Whitelaw (1921), Ferguson (1936) and Baragwanath (1940), but there have been no detailed descriptions of the deposits and no general account of their geological relationships. It should be noted that there has been no authenticated report of the occurrence of bauxite in Victoria outside South Gippsland and that little is known of the deposits other than those in the Boolarra-Mirboo North area.Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)ownerCommonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)02 6249 996602 6249 9960Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh DrGPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.aucustodianasNeededGA PublicationBulletinEarth SciencesAustralian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC)2008-03-31+11:00publicationAustralian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/1297.0Main%20Features32008?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=1297.0&issue=2008&num=&view=owner9780642483584otherRestrictionslicenselicenseotherRestrictionsCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licenceunclassifiedengutf8geoscientificInformation146.0146.5-38.5-38.0pdfUnknownGeoscience Australia+61 2 6249 9966+61 2 6249 9960GPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.audistributoronLinehttp://www.ga.gov.au/corporate_data/203/Bull_014.pdfWWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--downloadBull_014.pdfDownload the file (pdf) [62 MB]downloaddatasetUnknownunclassified
